I offer therapy in person in Clinton, Mississippi, and virtually throughout Mississippi and Pennsylvania.

As a health care provider, patient advocacy has been the cornerstone of my practice. I am a highly self-sufficient professional, confident in my ability to independently manage and resolve a wide range of common challenges and unpredictable situations in healthcare. As a doctorial prepared nurse practitioner, I've had the opportunity to build tools to support providers with improving the accuracy of their diagnoses. My autonomous background has provided me with a proven record in treating Mood Disorders, Eating Disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Women's Health related psychiatric disorders, Body Dysmorphia, as well as Sleep Disorders. Working within a diverse population including rural health has prepared me to serve and cater to the complexity and challenges faced by my clients, across all ages. In my spare time outside of the office, I enjoy reading, exercise, traveling, and playing with my puppy.

When a child has been through more than they should, or when a family is navigating trauma, foster care, or adoption, the right support changes everything. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families

dealing with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the weight of whatever life has handed them, including the complex emotions that come with foster care and adoption experiences. With more than a decade in mental health, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk beside you as a guide and support

as you build on your strengths and work toward the future you envision.

My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you feel comfortable, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Mississippi and the state of Michigan.

Hi, my name is Karen Begley, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Mississippi. I am skilled with working with both adolescents and adults using a client-centered approach.

I focus on helping individuals through grief and loss, anxiety, depression, anger, and physical stress. My passion is helping patients move from a place of despair to optimism. My ability to help others comes from personal life experience, formal and informal education and the desire to help. I use researched based therapeutic methods to strengthen and empower you to be able to problem solve and face challenges independently. I will not promise you a cure. I will promise to work with you until you reach a place of peace and calm. If that is what you are looking for, I would love to meet you.
